Senator Tom Harkin did everything but place a horse's head in Joe Lieberman's bed as he discussed the Connecticut Senator's Decision to join a filibuster of any Obamacare bill which contains the public option. He implied that if Lieberman , and independent, voted for the filibuster he would lose his committee chairmanship and would no longer be allowed to caucus with the Democratic Party:
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the Senate HELP Committee, told reporters that Lieberman (I-Conn.) ought to consider the benefits of his membership in the Democratic caucus before he decides how to vote on healthcare reform.
“[Lieberman] still wants to be a part of the Democratic Party although he is a registered independent. He wants to caucus with us and, of course, he enjoys his chairmanship of the [Homeland Security] committee because of the indulgence of the Democratic Caucus. So, I’m sure all of those things will cross his mind before the final vote," Harkin said in a conference call.

May I threaten Tom Harkin?
“isnt blackmail illegal?”
Nothing is illegal for those in givernment.
I’ll trade one Joe for two Maine senators and call it “even”.
BWWWWWWHAAAAAA!!!
Well membership *does* have its privileges, I spose. LOL!!
And the peoples of IA freely elected this scumbag, huh.
Yeah, we know how it works.
Stay in there Joe. Good for you.
Reid, Pelosi, and even Harkin seem so ridiculous, what could they “threaten” and who could possibly take it seriously?
Tom Harkin is a communist. Joe LIEberman is merely a socialist.
Harkin represents the Bahamas, where he actually lives.
“And the peoples of IA freely elected this scumbag, huh.”
The only thing I can think of is that Harkin must be taking care of the farming and food conglomerates, like Iowa Beef Processing, and the like.
I believe it.
I mean really, WTH w/could stop 'em.
Trouble, is Eric?
Will the Iowans? Would they even care.
Probably not; hence, the SOB will be elected again & again & again.
'Til one cold day they carry his filthy rotted carcass outa the senate, strap 'em to a power auger and screw 'em into the ground. Shesssshhhhh.
Bet'cher right on the money, again, my friend. ;^)
That be the instigators; but, this breed of lice has plenty in it for Itself that never makes outward sense, too. They always do. It's gotten that old.
See #15, my friend.
Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Gotta take Momma out to someplace nice for lunch, soon.
Great chance to allow my blood pressure to return to recordable levels. LOL
Hey Dims, How you like having your own “Jumpin’ Jeffords” on your side, doesn’t feel very good does it, welcome to the year 2000....
